Feature:
The pickup knobs and bass boost help diversify its range. Also, it's one of the prettiest basses I've ever played. Photos don't do it justice.

Quality:
The minute I picked up the bass, I noticed how heavy it was. I love heavy basses and Ibanez are usually built like tanks. However, the finish on the bass is very nice, so you might not want to scuff it up.

Value:
I got this bass for $400 which was good for what it is. It's not a top-of-the line bass, but for it's price I think it's one of the best you'll find depending on your style of play.

Desirability:
For it's price... I might venture to say that it is the sexiest bass I've ever seen.

Sound:
This bass can get some very deep tones (Characteristic of Ibanez). However, I was surprised by the clarity of the highs. It's a little hard to get a lively, punchy sound out of it. It's more of a compressed tone, great for rock music.

Ease of Use:
With most Ibanez basses, the neck is very narrow. Add the fact that it's a five string and it's amazing how fast the action is, making it a prime metal/rock/hardcore bass. However, due to the relative proximity of the strings it becomes difficult to slap on this bass.

Support:
This is my second Ibanez bass and I've never needed support. So, that should say something.

Overall:
For a habitual 4-string player, this fiver was a welcome addition to the collection.
